Safeguarding Workshop - Thursday November 26th at 1pm - 2.30pm - OLV Sockburn

Creating safe environments involves active participation and responsibility taken by all parishes. It requires collaboration, vigilance and a proactive approach through policies, procedures, education and practices. Safeguarding training supports parishes and catholic entities in creating safe environments, protecting children and vulnerable individuals, embedding a culture of care, empowering ministry teams, and strengthening the church's credibility and mission. Priests, volunteers and staff in parishes are required to attend safeguarding training every three years.
